    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    My BG have been below 7 for ages and stable so I don't test regularly. I'm on Komboglyze. I went out for a 3km walk after taking my evening dose without eating. When I got back my BG was 5.5mmol/L. This is how big I was in 2014. My avatar, that was taken about two months ago.

    Aerobic Fitness and Blood Pressure

    Thanks @Lainie71 That feedback is so encouraging. Yes, I will let my M.D. know my progress next visit/bloodwork. I keep on forgetting to ask for my Hb1Ac value though. Yeah, when I weighed 270lbs, way back, I kept my clothes aside as an incentive to work off the weight. For most my outdoor...

    Aerobic Fitness and Blood Pressure

    I've improved my body weight with jogging/running routines but it's taken ten years and it's been a roller coaster ride. I think I've licked it now though. I'm back into clothes I've kept for over ten years as motivators. I'm low carb-ing now don't like having a full stomach anymore. My blood...

    Eye Health and Vitamins Leutin/Zinc Vitalux/AREDS

    Has anyone noticed improvement with floaters taking these AREDS (aka Vitalux?) My eyes always feel stressed, but I'm noticing the amount of floaters is reducing and growing fainter. I'm a low carb-er, 150g carbs/day is my goal. My blood glucose hasn't been above 7mmol/L max in ages. Thanks, Gary

    Athletic T2 Diabetics Experiences

    Thanks, I'm a big lug with huge bones and muscle, 21cm wrist. More muscle mass is the last thing I want or need, chuckle! I do a 4-5km run every two or three days, mostly for BG control, depression control, and heart health.

    Type 2 Accu-Check Aviva Test Strip Dating

    Hello Forum, If my Accu-Check Aviva test strips are still being accepted by my glucometer, will I still get accurate readings? Once I accidentally put a way out of date strip in and the meter gave me an error code, can't remember exactly what it was. Now I have some strips left that are a...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Hi, I had a nice surprise with my BG just before lunch. That being, I didn't have my komboglyze before breakfast (bran buds, 1 weetabix, almond milk) this morning. Yet to pick up my refill at the pharmacy. Well, my BG was an amazing 6.0 mmol/L. Having missed my morning dose, I'm just over the...

    Diverticulosis and Diabetes 2 diet

    Hey @Garooba So, I've had lower GI issues since in my early twenties. In '95 I had to go to ER for acute diverticulitis attack. I guess I was diagnosed with TypeII about 20013/14? I started seriously counting carbs about six years ago, when counting calories didn't work, along with jogging...

    GREAT NEWS: My MD called me with my current blood work results and congratulated me on having a great HbA1c. She was quite impressed (so am I!) Darn, I forgot to ask her for it again so I could write it down..

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    My fasting BG in the morning is 5.1 mMol/L yesterday. Even two hours after supper my BG doesn't go above 6.7 when it used to go up to ten mmol/L at the beginning of treatment. I've cut down so much on carbs I'm hardly eating bread any more. I've had two loaves of bread in the cupboard for almost...
